Man gets awesome Harry Kalas tattoo

Here's a Harry Kalas tribute that will last forever. Artist Rob Fiore of Inkwell 309 in Montgomeryville spent nearly three hours Thursday tattooing a full color portrait of the legendary Phillies broadcaster on the arm of Michael Schwarz. Filmmaker Eric Moyer (A Halfway House Christmas) was on hand to document and created this video.

The shading makes Harry look like a zombie. Great idea, poor execution. Dan, have fun at the game Saturday night?

I feel like that'd be breaking the fourth wall, Dan. And NickPa1 - that should be the lead for this story.

I couldn't agree more with ROSIE. That whole spectacle this weekend was wierd and disturbing. What's wrong with these people?

HD1 - omfg I laughed so hard at your AMW comment!! It is creepy looking but the sentiment is sweet. Rosie - seriously do you have a life? You comment & comment and just seem snarky & mean. I miss the old commenters... Dan yeah they made fun of you sometimes, but they were more amusing than this new batch. (or b*tch) ;)

I obtained a transcript of how this tattoo came about. "I want a tattoo of Harry Kalas." "Umm... I can't draw Harry Kalas, but I can draw Frankenstein." "Okk, that will do!"

Montgomeryville? Yeah, that's where I want to get a tattoo. What an awful tattoo. Harry Kalas - jeez, can you think of anything lamer? I'm so inspired that I'm running out to get a Merrill Reese portrait on my "coin purse."

Looks like the Zombies from "They Live" (Roddy Piper: "I came here to chew bubblegum and kick some a55...and I'm all out of gum.")

in other news (online) today, I saw this caption and thought of Dan: "According to the company, 439,000 Butterscotch Krimpets are baked daily, and have lent their name to a conference room."

I saw "Man replaces gerbil with Butterscotch Krimpet results still equal ER visit. After which man said no Krimpet should go to waste and proceeded to eat it". No wonder he's last name is Gross.

Michael Schwarz is a LOOOOOOOOOOOOSER!! What kind of an idiot would emblazon his arm with a near-death pic of Harry? Shoulda picked a pic from 20 years ago dude!

Just because you are desensitized to life, (your stupid post name "Rosie in Orbit" says it all!) doesn't mean that people can't express their emotions for a much beloved man. Sounds to me like your the type that sits alone in your room at night, and argues with your Television set. Heres an idea, why don't you and mg3212 hook up. Then you two can go thru the obits together for laughs and giggles! mg3212, what was that, your state corrections number?
